"ERROR [260]: CONNECTION" when flashing Task29 & new ROMs now. Fix?

[tt C6]

I unlocked my Touch Pro 2 a while ago and have tried multiple ROMs.

I have NEVER been happy with the raw speed of the Touch Pro 2 when simply using it as a phone/text device.
So, I got frustrated and just flashed back to the stock ROM hoping it would be faster than I remembered.
It wasn't.

So, now when I try I go into Bootloader and try to flash Task29 or a new ROM, I get an error that reads: "Error 260 Connection".


I've even tried to sync in Activesync and run Task29/ROMs from while the phone is synced and I am still getting this error message.

Can anyone please offer me a fix?

Thank you.
